More quotes by George S. Patton
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
George S. Patton
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
If I could have three wishes, one would be to take an '88 and shove that barrel up Hitler's ass so that cocksucker can cry like the little god-damned girl he is. And hell, after that, I wouldn't need two more wishes.
George S. Patton
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
